My future daughter in law asked me if I could help put together a rehearsal lunch or dinner for their wedding...I was so honored and wanted to make sure that I found the perfect place. After visiting various restaurants, The Monkey Cat was it!! The owners, Jennifer and Jared, made sure we were well taken care of and their party coordinator, Erica, made planning and coordinating a dream! We had a group of 29 - the "party room" could handle 25 people maximum but Erica set up an area on their patio for the overflow and it worked out perfect! Our group included vegans, vegetarians, gluten free, dairy free, and a combination of "all of the above" individuals - which can be a challenge for many restaurants. Erica navigated these waters with ease and we had a menu that addressed all of our requests.
Since the wedding rehearsal was at 10:30am in Forest Hill, we decided to have a rehearsal lunch at The Monkey Cat immediately following our rehearsal. Erica opened the doors up early so that a friend of mine could enter the party room and decorate prior to our arrival. The place settings were perfect and the food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed scrumptious appetizers at every table, a choice of 2 salads along with 3 entree options. Everything was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals! The service was fantastic! All of the staff were so gracious, friendly and fun - high energy and they genuinely care. I felt truly Blessed to have found this restaurant and look forward to having more dinners, lunches and parties there in the future! If you want to have a memorable event - I highly recommend the Monkey Cat!!!
